We have a woman who has experienced some intense trauma (and might have Autism or Asperger's), and doesn't seem to be the most accurate portrayal of this. Now, we… Continue reading #BookReview Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman

All of the sonnets flow smoothly and… Continue reading #BookReview Pop Sonnets by Erik Didriksen

Apocalypse the Memoir by C.S. Oliver I am sad to say this book somehow got swept up into my house and disappeared for a while.
